F TOFAEX Patented Nov. 8, 1932 UNITED STATES EDWIN G. SANDQUIST, or WILMINGTON, CALIFORNIA BABY SANITARY TOILET sear Application filed April 9,

This invention relates to a baby sanitary toilet seatwhich is substituted for the usual toilet cover and is adapted for the use of small children.

An object of my invention is to provide a. novel sanitary seat, and particularly a novel means of mounting segmental sections of the seat so that said sections may be carried into an elevated position to act as arms for the seat.

Another object is to provide a novel arm construction which is simple, sturdy, and which can be easily and quickl moved into either raised or collapsed position.

Other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the subjoined detailed description and the appended claims.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a top plan view of my seat with one of the segmental arm sections partially pulled out.

Figure 2 is a side elevation in open position.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a perspective View of the arm bracket.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary, side view of one of the bracket arms.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates the seat which has the appearance of the toilet seat cover when closed. The seat is provided with a central opening 2, and this opening is closed by a cover 3 which is hingedly mounted to the seat 1 by means of a suitable hinge 4. The hinge 1 is so constructed that the cover 3 can be raised into vertical position and when open this cover acts as a back rest. Two arm sections 5-6 are positioned one on either side of the seat 1 and these arms conform to the shape of the seat when in closed position. The arms 56 are adapted to be moved outwardly and then raised into vertical position as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

A U shaped bracket 7 is secured to each of the arms 5 and 6, preferably by fitting the bracket into a recess 8 in the arm and then setting screws through the bracket and into 1932. Serial no. 604,195. g

the arm section; The bracket 7 consists of two integrally formed arms 9-10. Each'arm is provided with a slot 11 in which a pin 12 is slidably mounted. A plate 13 fits 'over each of the arms 9 or 10, and this plate fits over the extending portion of the pin 12-. IVhen the bracket 7 is in horizontal position, as shown in Figure 1, the arms 9 and10 slide inwardly in grooves llvprovided in the body of the seat. V

When it is desired to use the arm sections 5 and 6, they are pulled outwardly and then swung upwardly aroundthe pins 12 until they reach the position shown in Figures 2 and 3. The arms 910 slide downwardly 5 a short distance by reason of the slots 11, thus locking the arms in raised position. When the arms are collapsed, they are held in this position by a split dowel 15 on the bracket 7. This dowel enters a hole 16 provided in the body of the seat and the outward spring of the split dowel will hold the arm sections closed. When the arm sections 5 and 6 are raised, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, a strap 17 may be releasably attached to the 7 arms, preferably eye screws 18.

Having described my invention, I claim:

1. In a baby sanitary toilet seat having a central hole therein, a cover for said hole, a hinge attached to said cover, a pair of arm sections one on each side of the seat, a U shaped bracket attached to each of the arm sections, said brackets comprising a pair of depending arms, said seat having recesses to receive said arms, and means engaging said arms whereby they are held in vertical position.

2. In a baby sanitary toilet seat having a central hole therein, a cover for said hole, a hinge attached to said cover, a pair of arm sections one on each side of the seat, a U shaped bracket attached to each of the arm sections, said brackets comprising a pair of depending arms, said seat having recesses to receive said arms, and means engaging said arms whereby they are held in vertical position, and a dowel on said bracket, said seat having a hole therein to receive the dowel whereby the arms are held in closed position.

3. In a baby sanitary toilet seat having a central hole therein, a cover for said hole, a hinge attached to said cover, a pair of arm sections one on each side of the seat, a U shaped bracket attached to each of the arm sections, said brackets comprising a pair of? depending arms, said seat having recesses to: receive said arms, each ofsaid arms having; i a slot formed therein, a pin in the slot, a

plate engaging the pin, said plate being attached to the seat thereby holding said bracket 7 to the seat. V

4. In a baby sanitary toilet seat having; a central hole therein, a cover'for said hole, a hinge attached to said cover, a pair of arm sections one on each side of the seat, a U shaped bracket attached to 'each of the arm sections, said brackets comprising a pair of depending arms, said seat having recesses to receive said arms, each of said arms having a slot formed therein, a pin in the slot, a plate engaging the pin, said plate being at tached to the seat thereby holding said bracket to the seat, a'split dowel-on said bracket, said seat having a hole formed therein to receive the dowel whereby the arm sections are held in closed position.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature. -EDWIN G. SANDQUIST.
